Electronic circuit boards

- So you might be wondering how electronics get manufactured. Well, I'm going to show you. I've got a circuit board right here, and this circuit board needs to have these components placed on it and soldered down. Now, I've taken the components and I've printed out the actual design that I created on the computer, and I'm going to tweezer each of these components onto the corresponding place on the circuit board. In order for the components to get soldered down, I have to apply solder to the board itself. In this case, I've got a nifty little contraption here that is a solder stencil with apertures that match each of the locations that I need to place the components on the board, so I'm going to slide the board here onto the stencil, and I'm going to take solder paste that is in a paste format, which is much easier to apply using this little squeegee here, and I'm simply going to squeegee the solder paste through the holes in my stencil, and now, when I take the board off the stencil,…
